Goodnight sweet Belgian prince

 

[sageyefc]

Gutted for him

 

[Toffeemeister]

He's one of our best players who provides the most cutting edge. Gutted for us and him.

 

[banno]

Big miss for us. He is one player who can come up with the unexpected.............................Jags also

 

[tiny_jacky]

I still remember him getting an injury during the derby two years ago. So unlucky.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Sod's law that we would lose him just as we seemed to be getting over our injuries. Gutted for him as he'd clearly spent a lot of his own time on holiday getting fit for the season and was in superb form. Get well soon Kev, we'll miss you.

Scary that we have literally no pace or threat out on the wings now, mcgeady and pienaar is average for me and atsu is unknown at this point.

Really need ross and coleman back now

 

[FTY]

He's stayed fit for a very long time tbf, considering how he started..

Hope he's back soon.

 

[Ring master]

Wasnt he out for ages last time,came back after 3 weeks [ish],but came bk to early and lasted hardly any time at all v spurs or someone,to then be out another 4 weeks,something like that

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

RIP Kev

The way he went down and had to be stretchered off it looks like a bad tear :-( could be 3 months I think.

 

[bluegirl]

How long we thinking?

Huge blow. No one that can do what he does for us.

A hamstring injury is a strain or tear to the tendons or large muscles at the back of the thigh.

This type of injury is common in athletes and can occur in different severities. The three grades of hamstring injury are:

• grade 1 – a mild muscle pull or strain
• grade 2 – a partial muscle tear
• grade 3 – a complete muscle tear

The length of time it takes to recover from a hamstring strain or tear will depend on how severe the injury is.

A minor muscle pull or strain (grade 1) may take a few days to heal, whereas it could take weeks or months to recover from a complete muscle tear (grade 3).

 

[svenboss]

I would say this = grade 3 – a complete muscle tear, judging by his reaction.

Deulofeu's took about 8 weeks and it was a bad one.

Hopefully we'll have him back for the Christmas schedule.

However at least Ross is coming back. We might be best playing a diamond and leaving Naismith and Lukaku up front given I'm not convinced on any of our fit wingers. They're both wasteful and not great defensively.

Frankly that diamond is what I think we should be playing in the big games anyway but it needs Ross to work.
